Compassion
Unlocking Hearts: Embracing Compassion Through Jet Jurgensmeyer's Melody
Lyrics
The grass is greener on the other side
The perception is that things are better elsewhere.
We only want to see the dirt
We tend to focus on the flaws or negative aspects rather than the positives.
We don't know where to draw the line
We struggle to set boundaries or limits.
You'd think by now we would've learned
Despite experiences, one would expect us to have gained knowledge or understanding.
To treat another like a brother reach out and shake their hand
Encouragement to treat others with kindness and familiarity.
How to take a little shade give a compliment
Learning to give comfort or support through kind words.
We need to show a lot more love and cause a lot less hurt
Advocating for expressing more love and minimizing harm.
You'd think by now we would have learned...compassion
Despite expectations, we haven't fully understood the concept of compassion.
What's the point of tearing someone down
Questioning the purpose of criticizing or demeaning others.
What's the point of causing pain
Questioning the motive behind causing suffering to others.
cause in the end it all comes back around
Implying that actions have consequences and what goes around comes around.
When you're standing at the gates
Metaphorically referring to facing consequences or judgment.
To treat another like a brother reach out and shake their hand
Reiteration of treating others kindly and extending goodwill.
How to take a little shade give a compliment
Learning to handle criticism and give praise.
We need to show a lot more love and cause a lot less hurt
Emphasis on the need for more love and reduced harm.
You'd think by now we would have learned...compassion...compassion
Repeating the idea that despite time passing, understanding compassion remains lacking.
You never know who you're talking to
Highlighting the importance of understanding others' perspectives.
Until you walk in their shoes
Understanding someone requires experiencing what they have gone through.
Treat another like a brother reach out and shake their hand
Repeated emphasis on treating others kindly and fostering connections.
How to take a little shade and try and understand
Learning to accept criticism and try to empathize.
We need to show a lot more love and cause a lot less hurt
Advocating for increased love and reduced harm once again.
You'd think by now we would have learned...compassion...compassion
Reiteration of the lack of learning or understanding compassion despite time passing.
